Go Dell its cheap and reliable. I did what you were doing for years I always had small hangups and glitches. Eventually I had a similar problem a hard drive with a corrupted FAT. I bought from Dell Outlet an Intel 2.8 ghz Core 2 Duo without screen and 200gb SATA drive. After a year I have just added 2gb of RAM now 3gb just to speed things up in when running Lightroom and Elements simultaneously. I run Windows XP Media Center which came with the computer. I will never self build again. I know its fashionable to knock Dell but I am delighted. My son is a Software Developer running an Industrial software company. He uses all Dell machines on business contract and is satisfied.
